designjunction 2019
Where Design Meets: From the world’s leading designers to undiscovered brands, designjunction brings together the newest and most forward-thinking furniture, lighting & accessory designs of 2019. Taking place from 19-22nd September, designjunction returns to London’s newest creative quarter, King’s Cross, N1C, to present more than 150 international design brands, hundreds of product launches, over 70 tempting pop-up shops and immersive installations. In addition to never-before-seen product launches, there will also be a curated selection of thought-provoking activations, interactive features and boutique pop-up shops across several key areas throughout the King’s Cross Design District including Cubitt House (lighting and furniture), the Light Tunnel (partnership projects), King’s Boulevard (brand activations and installations), the Canopy (retail) and Everyman Cinema (talks and debates).
This year, designjunction is calling upon its exhibitors, as agents of change, to react to issues, to re-imagine opportunities and to reconnect with their audiences. With a wide range of exhibitors signed up, there will be lots of amazing brands showcasing their latest product launches. New exhibitors for this year include PAD Home, Bene Studio and Verpan, joining recognisable names such as Icons of Denmark, Very Good & Proper and James Burleigh.
Discussing the relationship between design and dyslexia will be a panel made up of Ab Rogers, product designer James Rokos, metal artist Simone ten Hompel and University of Cambridge researcher Helen Taylor. Other topics include: wellbeing in the workplace: is it more than a fad?; the circular economy; and why the design industry needs to find space for new voices.
We will also be welcoming back The Rado Star Prize; the third edition of the prize showcasing cutting-edge pieces by the next generation of British designers takes as its theme, ‘Re:Imagine’, exploring different ways design can improve life. The 10 shortlisted finalists will be displayed in the Light Tunnel.
Expect to see a myriad of features throughout the show including inspiring installations by Stueart Padwick, striking pop-up encounters designed by Lois O’Hara and unique creations by MT Masking Tape and Keech Design amongst many others.
